Your vehicle's Engine Valve Cover Gasket creates a tight seal between your engine's valves and the outside world to contain motor oil and prevent oil pollution. The original Engine Valve Cover Gasket in your Nissan can become dry or cracked with age, which can create an imperfect seal and motor oil leakage that can easily spill onto other components surrounding your engine.
A damaged Engine Valve Cover Gasket can cause a burning oil smell that permeates the cabin of your vehicle, and resulting oil leaks could put your engine under unnecessary stress. If you've recently noticed that you need to top off motor oil more frequently than you did before, or an oil indicator light on the dash is signaling low oil levels every few days or weeks, it could be time to replace your Engine Valve Cover Gasket.
If possible, don't wait to replace a damaged or worn Engine Valve Cover Gasket once you know it's causing a problem. Variable motor oil levels can diminish your engine's long-term health and can even damage the valves if not addressed quickly. Seeing oil splotches below your usual parking spot?
